Hi Will...I'm pretty new to John Stanley, too---but there are so many cartoonists that I know and respect who are big fans that I had to check him out. Thanks to blogs like Stanley Stories (see sidebar) and reprints, I can finally see what all the fuss is aboot!

Does anyone know Bill Williams history? Did he once work for Walt Disney? I have some signed cartoon drawings that he did for my sister & I about 55 years ago when my Dad took us to his home in NY or CT. Would this be the same cartoon illustrator who created the Disney caracter "Jose"?

Dear AnonymousI realise this comment is over 2 years later but I also have some original cartoons by Bill or Billy Williams and they are certainly many years old. I have tried in the past to trace a background to this artist but not succeeded. If you have any details I would appreciate them. My e-mail is chrismbjones@hotmail.com
